reports, papers and maps relating to the in
qulry. Kilbourne appeared before the
commission and was asked to state the names
OF five members of the real estate pool
and where each resided. He re-
fused to answer the questions or
to produce the books which had
been required. The committee reported the
matter to the House, and it ordered the
Speaker to issue his warrant directing the
Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Kilbourne and
bring him before the bar of the House to
answer why he should not be punished
for contempt. On being brought
before the House Kilbourne persisted
in his refusal to answer the question and to
produce the books and papers required. He
was thereupon held to be in contempt and
was committed to the custody of the Ser
geant-at-arms until he should signify his
Willingness to appear before the committee
and answer subpoena duces tec,tns, and it
was ordered that the Sergeant-at-arms
should cause him to be confined in the COM
mon Jail in the District of Columbia.
SUED THE SPEAKER
Upon his release he sued the Speaker of
the House and Sergeant-at-Arms for his
forclble arrest and confinement. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded the facts recited, to which
the plaintiff demurred. The demurrer was
overruled and Judgment was affirmed as to
all the defendants except the Sergeant-at-
Arms. They being members of the House,
were held to be protected from prosecu-
tion for their action, but, as Thompson's
Judgment was reversed and the case re-
manded for further proceedings in the
Supreme Court, he ca Sc received great
consideration, and it was held that the sub
ject matter of the investigation was judicial
and not legislative, and there was no power
in Congress or in either house on allegations
that an insolvent debtor of the United
States was not interested in private busi-
ness partnership to investigate the affairs of
the partnership, and consequently no au-
thority to compel the witness to testify on
the subject.

MANITOBA's NEW ROAD.
Sir John Mcdonald Repudiates State
ment Attributed to Him.


LONDON, Aug. 29.-In the House of Com
mons this evening Sir Henry Holland, the
colonial secretary, read cablegram from
Lord Lansdowne, Governor General Of
Canada, declaring to be a pure fabrication
the report that Sir John Mcdonald had
said that he would not hesitate to ask the
aid of imperial troops TO stop the construction
of the Manitoba Railway. Lord l.ansdowne
also says in his dispatch: THE Provincial
act for the construction of the Red River
Railway was disallowed by me ON the ad-
vice of responsible advisers, on the ground
that the proposed line would tap the traffic
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and would
thereby seriously injure the interest OF the
whole country, which had submitted TO
large sacrifices in order to unite tho prov
inces by national road.
Mr.. Healy asked whether the statement
by Sir Henry Holland in reference to Slr
John Mcdonald extended TO the report that
the imperial troops III Canada would De
concentrated at Winnipeg.
Sir Henry replied that he had the author
ity of NJ. Stanhope, Secretary OF State Tor
War, that that was also pure fabrication

AN EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
A Brisk Shock Experienced for Half a

A Brisk Shock Experienced for Half a
Minute in the Early Morning.
CITY or MEXICO, Aug ga brisk
earthquake shock was experienced here
about o'clock this morning, agitating
houses and making people dizzy. In some
streets people ran out Of their houses and
fell on their knees praying. The
shock was not severe and was felt
most in the outlying portion of the
city. Thomas B. Connery, Secretary Of the
United States Legation, noted the shock
at 6: AS o'clock, and about the same time il
was felt sharply at Castle Chaputepec,
where President Diaz and his family are
residing Early morning riders on the
Paso de la Reform noted the shock rs last
ing 30 seconds. The friends OF Zeuniga,
who predicted the shock for Aug 10, now
claim that their prophet was not altogether
destitute Of knowledge Of the coming earth
quake. The weather is warm and the
atmosphere humid.
The direction of the earthquake was from
north 10 south and its duration was eight
seconds. In the capital Of the State Of
Guerrero two arches Of the arcade in the
main square were thrown down. Tho dura-
ton of the shock there was fifteen seconds,
and it's direction was from north 10 south.
Earthquake shocks we're felt at Orizaba

FRISCO TIDING 1T OVER.
THE DAY PASSED WITHOUT A
SINGLE FIRM FAILING.

A Possibility That the Crisis May Now
Pass Without Any More Serious
Trouble-Sudden Dumping of over
100000 Tons of Wheat For Forced
Sales Avoided.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29-There was a
large and excited crowd in the Call board
room at II O'Clock this morning, the official
hour for the beginning of trading. One
sale of 100 tons was made at 81 "a, decline
of lie. from the latest official sales on Fri.
day.
John W. Mackay, in an interview this
morning, repudiated the statements attrb.
uted to him in an interview printed in New
York few days ago in which he said he
was large holder of wheat He said the
Nevada bank had loaned a large amount Of
money on wheat, but that neither the bank
nor its officials were directly interested N
the deal and he was willing to throw open
all his books and show this to be fact.
After an hour or more of the session OF
the call board, the parties to whom Dres-
bach q Rosenfeld failed to pay the mar.
gins on wheat which they had promised
came in and asked to sell the wheat under
the rules of the board The directors
claimed that, once having signed an agree.
ment TO accept Dresbach's proposition, tho
old contracts are not affected by the call
board rules. The directors sought legal
advice on the matter, the board in the
meantime remaining in formal session
PASSED WITHOUT FAILURES.
The day passed without any failures. and
the feeling ON the street this afternoon was
that the crisis might pass without any serious
trouble. But little business was transacted
on the call board, the chief subject OF dis.
cussion being the proper course to be
adopted in the matter OF holding the delin'
quents legally responsible. A proposition
TO refer the matter to the attorney of the
board for his opinion was adopted
and the proceedings were deferred
until it should be obtained The prolonged
session OF the exchange was adjourned this
afternoon upon The receipt of ii legal opinion
that it was not necessary to make sales on
account during the first session of the board,
after notice of suspension was given AZ pro
vided in the bylaws. This averted
for the time being the me-
cessity of marketing under forced sale
of over 100, 900 tons of wheat, the effect
of which would have been disastrous. Tie
security in hand, amounting to 5000 tons,
will be sold as soon as possible and the pro
ceeds applied. as far as they will go, toward
the Dresbach & Rosenfeld contracts which
have not yet been margined down. The
board will meet tomorrow at the usual
hour.

TIcKERLEss BUCKET SHOPS.
The B. g. o. Company Gives in to the
Board of Trade

DOttld Va iItt0o'
CINCINNATI, Aug. 29.-The Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company, In obedience to
the demand of the Chicago Board of Trade,
this noon took out their wires from the half
dozen "broker Offices" or 'bucket shops"
as they are familiarly known, and com
pletely stopped that business in this city for
the present How this new difficulty will
be met by the brokers is a subject of inter
eSted discussion.
RESTORED TO THE FLOOR.
CHICAGO, Aug 29.-The instruments of
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com
pany were removed from the Board of
Trade room late Saturday afternoon, be-
cause the company were slow in complying
with the request of the board that they
discontinue furnishing wires for W. II.
Epley Sc Co. and Hodgen,
tations TO bucket shops. This morning
fused admittance to the exchange hall until
II o'clock, when Supt Clark, of the Balti-
more and Ohio, notified President Wright
that they had removed the wires as re-
quested. Their instruments were immedi-
ately replaced and business resumed. The
postal and Western Union wires, to the
number of six, that run from Wiley, Straw
bridge q Co. S office to bucket shops all over
the country, were cut this morning. This
left the latter firm, which is said to be the
headquarters for the largest bucketshops
outside of this city, without wires to dis
seminate their quotations. The city author
tiles have also cut the overhead wires lead
ing from all the bucket shops in the city.
The work contaminated to-day is the result
of over a months study, and it is believed
leaves the board master OF the situation.

A SPIN FOR THE THISTLE.
She Takes a Trial Trip Over the Com
ing Race Course.


New YORK, Aug. 29.-The Thistle's decks
this morning presented busy scene. Her
skipper was making preparations for his
first spin over the course where he expects
to make a sturdy effort for the Americas
cup. just as the anchor was about tripped
one of the crew, who has been in
this city, arrived and announced the safe
arrival after a stormy and eventful passage
of the yacht Mohican at Halifax. The
crew, in fact all hands, were so elated at
the news that they let the anchor and every
thing else go in order to give three times
three rousing cheers. No one, unless hold
ing written order from Mr.. Bell, will be
allowed to sail on the sloop
GETTING INTO DEEP WATER.
About the time that the eager lockers
from land gave up as a bad job the attempt
to see what more the Thistle was doing,
Capt Barr had the big spinnaker hauled
down to the boom. That helped her some
what, but, as the wind lightened soon after,
the great side sail was set, the extra canvass
was taken in, and the reach for the point of
Sandy Hook was made Going out to deep
water the Thistle made the Scotland light
ship, but as Capt. Barr now felt sure that
the wind would let up before long the boat
was put about for home. She had pretty
nearly dead beat back to Tompkinsville.
She stood under the sails that she started
out with and took it easy all the way home
Although there was no apparent effort to
make the sailors lend an "extra handn in
the work the boat always went in stays
quickly and when she came up into the
wind it was invariably in a steady,
positive manner that made
the onlookers think that she was a mighty
handy boat. The same appearance of log
giness marked the Thistle's beating back.
but she got home at :25 O'Clock in tacks that
were simple to her, and which showed that
she could go in stays quickly when not urged.
None of our yachts accompanied her over or
met her on the course The Shamrock
started out just as the Thistle was prepared
to drop anchor. The Thistle's mainsail
seams too big along the mast. Capt. Barr
says the day was satisfactory, except in that
the Yachts bottow was dirty.
